...social-climbing instinct--then hops down, nods furtively and scurries by the legs of the audience with some submissive mutters of "excuse me." The moment when the jealous Count gives Cherubino an army officer's commission to remove him from the scene--immortalized by Mozart in his mock-heroic, trumpet-and-drum aria "Non piu andrai..."--Epstein appropriates for a bit of grisly realism: Figaro grabs Cherubino by the shoulders and shakes him into an awareness of the horrors...

...truth to the old maxim that there is a direct correlation between musical virtuosity and mathematical wizardry, then retiring Time Inc. Group Vice President, Magazines, Arthur Keylor is a case in point. He came to this company 32 years ago as a young man with a horn (best schoolboy trumpet player in New England) and a Harvard Business School degree.
